Frequently Asked Questions
Signature Bronze offers a more complex harmonic spectrum than the 2002 or 3000 series, with a darker, more nuanced character.
The rough finish significantly contributes to the cymbal’s dark, complex sound and slightly reduces sustain compared to a polished finish.
While heavy, the design balances well, but it does require a certain level of physical control to prevent unwanted ringing or uncontrolled movement.
